Samsung Galaxy Axiom SCH-R830 seems to be a Galaxy S III Mini version for US Cellular

US Cellular will introduce a new Samsung Android smartphone soon. Reportedly called Galaxy Axiom (model number SCH-R830), the handset looks a lot like the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini that was released earlier this month in Europe. Moreover, its features aren’t too different from what the S III Mini has to offer.

There is n word on when the Samsung Galaxy Axiom will be available at US Cellular. In any case, it will probably become the carrier’s fifth Galaxy smartphone this year – after the Galaxy S Aviator, the QWERTY-equipped Galaxy Metrix 4G, the Galaxy S III, and the Galaxy Note II. All these feature LTE connectivity, so it’s no surprise that the Galaxy Axiom supports US Cellular’s 4G network, too. It remains to be seen how much the operator will ask for the new handset (it should not be more than $100 on contract).
